Get a fast, preliminary patentability report in 10 minutes. This free AI prompt performs a first-pass prior art search and generates a structured report, helping you assess your invention’s patentability prospects.
What This Does
This prompt takes an invention description, automatically extracts the key technical features, and performs a targeted search on Google Patents and the open internet.
The AI generates a clean, structured report that compares your invention’s features one-by-one against the most relevant public documents it finds. This gives you a fast, preliminary overview of your invention’s potential novelty and helps you have a more informed discussion with your patent attorney.
How to Use It
Step 1: Copy the Prompt
Copy the entire prompt from the box below.
Step 2: Protect Your Confidentiality CRITICAL!
Before you paste anything, you must secure your AI chatbot to prevent your invention from becoming public prior art. Public disclosure will destroy your ability to get a patent.
Step 3: Run the Prompt
In your now-secured chatbot window, paste the prompt (from Step 1) and add your invention description as a file attachment. For best results, an AI model with “Deep Research” function is recommended, since these tend not to “hallucinate” prior art references.
Step 4: Verify All Sources
The AI will generate a report with links. You should click every link to verify that the prior art reference (a) exists, (b) is relevant, and (c) actually discloses what the AI claims it discloses.
AI models can hallucinate (make up) sources or misinterpret their contents. While using a model with “Deep Research” function dramatically reduces this risk, you must still personally verify every single source.
